[Bug 1733157] [NEW] grub-install/dev/sda failed

[Abhishek Sinha]

Public bug reported:

I am installing Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS from a bootable usb I created. It
works fine when I just try Ubuntu. Although sometimes it is unable to
mount my HDD. When I try to install it by replacing previously installed
Windows 7 it returns a fatal error with message that grub-
install/dev/sda failed. As of now there is no active OS in my system and
the error remains the same.
